  • ^Andrew Johnson and the Philadelphia Election of 1866
    ^Andrew Johnson and the Philadelphia Election of 1866 HE TRADITIONAL image of Andrew Johnson's campaign tour during the congressional elections of 1866—the "swing Taround the circle," as it was called—is one of an ill-tempered, illiterate, semi-insane, and thoroughly undignified President thrash- ing madly through the North, harassed on all sides by gangs of ruffians instigated by the Radicals. The conclusion is that Johnson failed politically because he was unable to present his ideas in a sufficiently decorous manner. But it is questionable, when all is said and done, that political success is the natural result of political dig- nity. Certainly, the utterances of Thad Stevens or, better yet, Ben Butler during this campaign were not notably dignified, and, in any case, Johnson had spoken often in the North during the war and had been well received. What this suggests is that perhaps the real clue to his failure, in Philadelphia in particular and in the North in general, lies in what he was saying rather than in any fault of delivery. The essential issue was that of the Negro. The status of the Negro (the basic issue of Reconstruction and therefore of the 1866 election) was not decided in isolation but rather within the apprehensive atmosphere of the i86o's. Thus the "swing around the circle" should be viewed in the context of the Negro question and the general anxiety of the northern voter. The stage for the congressional elections of 1866 had been set by the clash between President Johnson and Congress in the spring of that year.
